Life is wonderful! Thank you God for blessing me with the gift of motherhood.
ta dah!!

don't mess with the best
Mommy & Daddy's Anniversary!
to help mommy & daddy celebrate their anniversary, alexander helped mommy make some banana blueberry muffins from scratch in the morning! he's becoming a mixing expert with his special giraffe whisk!
amazing grace
at night when I put Alexander to bed, I'll sing to him, either lullabies, movie tunes, or church songs. Of all the songs I sing to him, in English and Spanish, the one he's really taken to is the gospel, Amazing Grace. So much so, that he now sings some words of the first verse with me! and even on tune! He just constantly amazes me and I am in awe of him.
look at me! I'm cooking!
alexander helped mommy cook dinner for reals for the first time tonight. he stirred the pot of ravioli like someone's who's been doing it for 20 years! (ok, maybe I exaggerate a tad.) seriously though, for being only 20 months old, he was pretty amazing. he stirred the pot all by himself and was careful not to burn himself, spill or break up the pasta. perhaps we have a chef in the making!
beach adventure
Alexander, Rebecca and mommies had a beach adventure yesterday at Laguna Beach. It only took us a few hours to get out of the house and get to the beach, but we did it!! We ate lunch, saw lots of birds (even a helicopter that Alexander was pointing at), and played in the sand. We had a wonderful adventure together and look forward to many more.
"loads" of fun!
this evening at the park with mommy, Alexander learned that his pay loader truck can carry rocks. we had "loads" of fun!
caught!
While celebrating Grandma & Grandpa's surprise 40th wedding anniversary getaway to Santa Barbara wine country, Mommy caught Alexander horsing around in the Chinook! We think Alexander loves the Chinook as much as Mommy!
grocery shopping with mommy!
mommy and Alexander went to the grocery store this past monday and Alexander got to ride in the shopping cart sitting up! the cart cover worked great. here is Alexander checking it out to make sure it meets his standards. and it PASSED the inspection!
love the books!
go bears! beat the blue devils!
